近二十年重庆日租界研究述评

Review of Studies on Chongqing Japanese Concession in the Past Twenties Years

重庆日租界是中国近代史上列强在西部地区开辟的唯一租界,自1901年正式建立至1937年彻底废除,共历36年有余。1980年代初开始直到今天,有关重庆日租界的研究方兴未艾,取得了一系列有价值的研究成果,比如对租界内部活动的广泛探索、对租界回收过程的精确界定等等。在未来对重庆日租界的研究中,还应进一步探索重庆日租界设立过程中的两国外交谈判细节、重庆日租界内部企业及其活动等亟待解决的问题。

Chongqing Japanese concession is the only concession in the western areas of China, opened by the imperialist powers in China's modern history. The concession existed for 36 years, from the formal establishment in 1901 to the complete abolition in 1937. Since early 1980 s, studies on Chongqing Japanese concession have been on the rise, yielding a series of results, valuable studies, such as extensive exploration on activities at the concession, well-definition on the process of recovering concession, etc. However, the details of diplomatic negotiations between China and Japan in the process of setting up Japanese concession, internal enterprises and related activities at the concession should be further explored in the future study.
